Chapter 119

Never let your guard down

Fang Xin thought about it carefully for a while. Although the other one was more expensive, it was more practical.

"Grandpa, buy the expensive one."

Seeing Fang Xin say this, Master Li gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

But the supplies for several people were obviously insufficient, so they had to go back to get more supplies.

Grandpa Li doesn't want to exchange food for points.

Grandpa Li whispered, "Let's not use too much food to exchange for points. There are too many people in the base and we will be noticed. Let's use other things to exchange."

Fang Xin deeply agrees with this statement. This is indeed the truth.

"Grandpa, what should I exchange for it?"

Fang Xin had a lot of things he could consider exchanging, but the supplies of the two elders were not very comprehensive.

Grandpa Li thought for a while and said, "I still have some cigarettes that I can exchange, but they are all in the car, so I have to go out and get them."

Grandpa Li looked at Fang Xin and said, "We still have to go out for a while."

Fang Xin waved his hands and said, "I can go out by myself. I also need to get some things. Do you want anything else?"

Seeing Fang Xin's insistence, Grandpa Li said nothing, "Then bring some more pots, bowls, and daily necessities, and some food."

"Okay, wait for me at home."

After the three of them finished their discussion, they returned to the high-end residential area, and Fang Xin got into a broken van downstairs.

There are parking spaces downstairs. You only need to pay ten points per month for one parking space. The price is also reasonable, which is equivalent to ten kilograms of food.

Alas, if converted into food, it is still a bit expensive, after all, food is life-saving food.

This is also the reason why most people cannot afford to rent a better house, because everything costs money.

Fang Xin drove his car straight through the gates in the fenced areas without any obstruction. It was easy to get out without any inspection, but he had to swipe his card to get in.

Fang Xin turned the steering wheel and drove out of the base gate. She decided to walk around the area to see where she would be suitable to settle down.

There are still many survivors queuing in an orderly manner at the gate of the base, waiting to enter the base.

The cars were lined up in two rows, and the survivors were lined up in two rows. It was so crowded that you couldn't see the end of it.

Fang Xin drove slowly away from the base and found that there were still many survivors outside the base. They had not moved out of the houses they were living in and did not choose to enter the base.

Perhaps they felt that living near the base would provide some protection.

Or maybe they felt that the extremely cold and difficult days were over, and that a stable life would follow, so there was no need to enter the base.

Fang Xin also saw that there were security teams patrolling the streets to maintain order and to make the survivors feel a sense of belonging to the base.

Now that the base has been completed, the street patrol team has long since withdrawn to the base.

No care was taken about the other survivors who did not enter the base.

If there are still people who want to enter the base, they can enter. It is very humane to say this. It is entirely up to your own choice whether to enter or not, and no one will be forced.

There should be a difference between those who come in first and those who come in later.

It will be easy to enter the base in the early stage, but it will probably become more strict as time goes by.

Fang Xin turned the steering wheel. She wanted to go farther away from the base, to an area where no one was active. She wandered around the edge of City A for a whole day but couldn't find a suitable place.

But we also have to consider the possibility of natural disasters. We cannot continue to choose to live in the mountains, because if there is an earthquake or something like that, how can we escape when we are in the mountains?

City A is too big to walk around in a short time.

I had no choice but to go back and look for it next time. There was no rush anyway.

Fang Xin drove the car into a secluded place, took out the truck from the space, rummaged out some things, took some more, and filled the van.

Then he drove back to the base.

As it was getting dark, we finally arrived at the gate of the base.

There were still a large number of survivors waiting at the gate of the base, all of them were pale and thin, in tattered clothes, eager to enter the base as soon as possible.

They just rested on the ground, and some even lay on the ground with a mat.

Some survivors gathered in groups of three or four, hugging and leaning against each other to rest.

The survivors who had cars lived in the cars and waited in line.

Fortunately, they had someone there and went in early, otherwise they would have to get up early and wait in line.

The survivors looked on enviously as the van entered the base.

How they wished that they would be the ones entering the base at this time.

A skinny little boy nestled in his mother's arms, staring at the people coming in and out of the base with longing in his eyes.

They came here from far away with untold hardships. After hearing the news from the base on the radio, the whole family rushed here without stopping.

But his father died at the hands of the robbers in order to protect him and his mother.

With tears in his eyes, he knew that one day he would grow up and avenge his father.

But in this difficult end times, how many children can grow up?

Fang Xin swiped his card to enter the base, and then swiped his card again to pass through the low and middle areas and arrive downstairs at the building where they lived.

She glanced toward the third floor and saw Grandpa Li looking down, so she waved her hand.

Soon the two elders came down from the building.

There were many survivors at this point in the corridor who saw three people carrying supplies after work.

I went forward to check it out out of curiosity.

I saw some pots, pans, and even a small coffee table, and some simple flooring on top.

Everyone curled their lips.

They thought that such a large truck was full of food supplies, but it turned out to be all rotten stuff.

Every day someone would move in and move supplies into the building, so many kind-hearted people would come and look around.

Here comes another pickup truck, with the small compartment at the back filled with supplies, piled very high, with the huge food bags sticking out.

Unlike Fang Xin and the others who hid the food and supplies downstairs, they secretly moved them upstairs when they saw no one was around.

Only Grandma Li was left watching by the car.

Fang Xin and Grandpa Li quickly moved into the elevator.

A group of survivors immediately surrounded him, "Hey, newcomer, which floor do you live on?"

"Your family is really wealthy. You look like capable people."

"Where are you?"

"How about we help you move? Neighbors should help each other."

Being praised and flattered by so many survivors, the people in the pickup truck felt very happy and enjoyed this moment of being admired and complimented by so many people.

While a group of survivors were being lured away, they looked at each other and rushed to move the supplies in the car.

How did you survive three years of extreme cold when you didn't know that wealth should not be exposed?

The three of them quickly moved all the supplies in the car, locked the door and went upstairs.

Looking down from the window, the man was still moving supplies slowly, not in a hurry at all, and more and more survivors were watching.

Judging from the noisy noises upstairs, that person should live above them.

Looks like I need to lock the door at night.

Don't steal them as well.

Don't think that everything will be fine just because you live in the base. You must not let your guard down no matter where you are.
